Mr. Speaker, it is everyone's responsibility to adopt a humanitarian approach to asylum seekers. The provinces have to be on board. If some provinces attempt to gain political advantage at the expense of asylum seekers, that will get complicated. These conversations will be ongoing. We will keep working with the provinces to make sure they are doing their fair share. The burden is obviously greatest for Quebec and Ontario, but we are working to achieve a more even distribution.
